In case anyone hasn't heard, the SOHO and comet hunting/observing community suffered a great loss with the death of XingMing Zhou from injuries received in a...
If my calculations are correct (and if John Sachs, Dave Evans, and Xavier Leprette's Kreutz comets are confirmed - and if Xaioguang Ji's is not), I would like...
Kenn, ... yes, I have 687 SOHO comets with confirmed orbits. If the remaining confirmations are like you have described then Xavier will have the 700th SOHO...
... confirmations ... of course I have those 687 in my files.. and not discovered ;) Cheers, Maik -- If they give you ruled paper, write the other way. * Juan...
Hi all, I read this morning on the Soho web page the awful news reported by Karl about XingMing Zhou. I am very sad because he was among the first and the best...
Hi again, ... confirmations ... I made an error and forgot that Xavier's two 1996 comets were already announced. So I end up with 698 SOHO Kreutz comets. But...
I was very sad to hear of the passing of XingMing Zhou. He was a highly dedicated and effective SOHO comet hunter and he will be sorely missed. I have posted...
Hello All, What is the object that is located in SWAN at x,y 302 225 on the date 8/03/2004 x,y 301 214 on the date 7/27/2004 images moving south? Rather...
Hi John, In July, there were a great many comets visible in SWAN -- at one point I counted 6 visible in the same image! It'll take me a few minutes to check...
I have posted my "Ranking of Individual Comet Discoverers Throughout History" at http://danaher.home.sprynet.com/XMZhou/ALLTime.txt I'll update this from time...
Hello all, I'm a newbie to this, and not a terribly adept one yet :/ But, I'm intrigued, and I shall be giving due attention to the LASCO images in future...
Hi, Phil-- Welcome to SOHO comet hunting. ... in ... I would not worry about FITS images for now. They are good only for finding archival comets, and you...
Hi all, This message is just for those of you who run *automated scripts* to ftp the latest images from ftp://lasco6.nascom.nasa.gov/pub/lasco. Please make...
Ok, this is a bit interesting, though it's not SOHO related. I was browsing JPL's site to see what new stuff has come from Cassini when I found that they've...
Hi all, I recently went over the old x-comet archive and looked at all the reports of x-comets with >4 positions, to see if I could perhaps spot anything that...
On my Web site, my SOHO comet page (http://home.earthlink.net/~tonyhoffman/SOHOhunt.htm) includes a table--with a huge chunk of unwanted blank space above it....
Tony, Where you have ************ etc <hr> <table> <div align="center"> <center> <table border="2" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="3" > <caption> <b> My SOHO...
Thanks, Karl, for your help-- Unfortunately, that did not correct the spacing problem. I've fiddled with it some more, including stripping away everything that...
Tony, Sorted it for you. If the file attached does not appear via this group, I will email it directly, just ask, as I may not see my own post. What was...
Thanks a lot, Mike-- It looks a lot better now. To think it was something staring me in the eye all along. I see why in my books, they recommend that one not ...
Hey all, Got a quick question... what is the object transitioning from left to right about 2/3rd down on the C3 images? It is moving faster than surrounding...
... Mercury. You look at the night side of the planet, so no blooming. Regards, Sebastian ... Sebastian F. Hönig Institut für Theoretische Astrophysik ...
Sorry for being too stupid on this one. I guess it is Mercury....I just looked at a much longer loop...maybe I am just thinking of C2 transitions with the...
... Btw: This is the reason why I included magnitudes for all objects in the transition table for the first time this year. You find: Aug 20 -28 Mercury...
Sebastian, Thanks for the quick reply... and yeah I figured out I was being stupid. But as for your magnitudes...I am not real familiar judge of exact...
Asteroid CERES entered C3 at (279,40) [1024x1024 Upper Left 0,0] at 2004/09/06 16:42. CERES is crossing the top of C3, moving slower than the stars. Jim...
